Tumble is a utility to construct PDF files from one or more image
files.  Supported input image file formats are JPEG, and black and
white TIFF (single- or multi-page).  Black and white images will be
encoded in the PDF output using lossless Group 4 fax compression
(ITU-T recommendation T.6).  This provides a very good compression
ratio for text and line art.  JPEG images will be preserved with the
original coding.

The current version of Tumble will only work on little-endian systems,
such as x86, VAX, and Alpha.  The byte order dependencies will be fixed
in a later release.
